Publisher's summary
This book is different. Why? Because in short, bite-size chapters I will show you how the asset management industry works. Most other books on asset management focus on portfolio management. I will instead show you a 360-degree view of the industry, covering topics including: the industry's main asset managers, who the main types of clients are, and most importantly, how people within the money management industry look at themselves.
The book also covers the main systems used from a corporate reporting standpoint and common jargon used within the industry. Having worked in the asset management industry for many years, I will give you a view of how asset management is viewed from within the industry, not outside. I find it frustrating when books are written from "experts" who aren't even in the field. Very frequently, I find such books highly academic in their nature and not entirely reflecting how the industry operates on a day-day basis.
By listening to this book, you will come out well versed to hold a mature conversation on what matters in the asset management. Perfect, if you are preparing for an interview, or if you just want an accessible yet thorough introduction. It is also for working professionals who are already in the industry - possibly in a niche, or specialist role - who would like to get a better understanding of the bigger picture. Think of this book as a primer, a crash-course, an “essentials” book, a very short introduction to....

Story
William Bernstein's commonsense approach to portfolio construction has served investors well during the past turbulent decade - and it's what made The Four Pillars of Investing an instant classic when it was first published nearly a decade ago. This down-to-earth book lays out in easy-to-understand prose the four essential topics that every investor must master: the relationship of risk and reward, the history of the market, the psychology of the investor and the market, and the folly of taking financial advice from investment salespeople.

Story
The finance sector of Western economies is too large and attracts too many of the smartest college graduates. Financialization over the past three decades has created a structure that lacks resilience and supports absurd volumes of trading. The finance sector devotes too little attention to the search for new investment opportunities and the stewardship of existing ones, and far too much to secondary-market dealing in existing assets. Regulation has contributed more to the problems than the solutions.

Useless
The content of the book is as useless as most of the world of asset management. This is perhaps why the author did not want to use her real name.
